National counĀ­cil proĀ­posed for disĀ­aster manĀ­ageĀ­ment: DPM

Berita

Deputy Prime MinĀ­isĀ­ter Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said a National DisĀ­aster ManĀ­ageĀ­ment CounĀ­cil is proĀ­posed to be estabĀ­lished as the highest body responsĀ­ible for coordinĀ­atĀ­ing disĀ­aster manĀ­ageĀ­ment and disĀ­aster risk reducĀ­tion.

Ahmad Zahid, who is also National DisĀ­aster ManĀ­ageĀ­ment ComĀ­mitĀ­tee chairĀ­man, said he had instrucĀ­ted the National DisĀ­aster ManĀ­ageĀ­ment Agency (Nadma) to preĀ­pare a CabĀ­inet paper to be cirĀ­cuĀ­lated to all minĀ­isĀ­tries for feedĀ­back.

ā€œWithin a month, it will be cirĀ­cuĀ­lated for review, and I will perĀ­sonĀ­ally present it (at a CabĀ­inet meetĀ­ing).

ā€œ(In) upgradĀ­ing the CentĀ­ral DisĀ­aster ManĀ­ageĀ­ment ComĀ­mitĀ­tee to the National DisĀ­aster ManĀ­ageĀ­ment CounĀ­cil, we want disĀ­aster manĀ­ageĀ­ment to be sigĀ­niĀ­ficĀ­antly enhanced.ā€

Ahmad Zahid said the curĀ­rent national disĀ­aster manĀ­ageĀ­ment mechĀ­anĀ­ism through the CentĀ­ral DisĀ­aster ManĀ­ageĀ­ment ComĀ­mitĀ­tee needs to be furĀ­ther strengthened.

ā€œAt present, the existĀ­ing comĀ­mitĀ­tee does not yet involve the dirĀ­ect parĀ­tiĀ­cipĀ­aĀ­tion of menĀ­teri besar and chief minĀ­isĀ­ters, even though state govĀ­ernĀ­ments hold key authorĀ­ity over develĀ­opĀ­ment, land use and water resource manĀ­ageĀ­ment, critĀ­ical factors that influĀ­ence disĀ­aster risk and impact.

ā€œThere is also a need for the full involveĀ­ment of fedĀ­eral minĀ­isĀ­ters who have the manĀ­date and capaĀ­city to coordinĀ­ate in an integĀ­rated manĀ­ner across minĀ­isĀ­tries and agenĀ­cies, allowĀ­ing decisions to be made more quickly, decisĀ­ively and effectĀ­ively.ā€ ā€“ Bernama

One panel to steer crises

Berita

Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has proĀ­posed a National DisĀ­aster ManĀ­ageĀ­ment CounĀ­cil to be the counĀ­tryā€™s highest body on disĀ­aster manĀ­ageĀ­ment and risk reducĀ­tion.

The Deputy Prime MinĀ­isĀ­ter said that durĀ­ing any crisis, all informĀ­aĀ­tion must come from a veriĀ­fied source to ensure proper coordinĀ­aĀ­tion.

ā€œFor instance, in coordinĀ­atĀ­ing informĀ­aĀ­tion, there should only be one spokesĀ­perĀ­son or source. Or else there will be conĀ­flictĀ­ing informĀ­aĀ­tion. We are not askĀ­ing to conĀ­solĀ­idĀ­ate more power but to coordinĀ­ate everything.

ā€œThat is why I would like to proĀ­pose the formĀ­aĀ­tion of the counĀ­cil as the highest body responsĀ­ible for coordinĀ­atĀ­ing disĀ­aster manĀ­ageĀ­ment and risk reducĀ­tion,ā€ he said in a New Year address to the National DisĀ­aster ManĀ­ageĀ­ment Agency (Nadma) perĀ­sonĀ­nel here yesĀ­terĀ­day.

To impleĀ­ment the proĀ­posal, he dirĀ­ecĀ­ted Nadma to preĀ­pare a CabĀ­inet paper within one month.Ā ā€œYou need to disĀ­tribĀ­ute it to the respectĀ­ive minĀ­isĀ­tries and minĀ­isĀ­ters to get their feedĀ­back before I table it in the CabĀ­inet,ā€ he said.

Ahmad Zahid also wanted Nadma to set a new benchĀ­mark in national disĀ­aster manĀ­ageĀ­ment for manĀ­aging the ongoĀ­ing northĀ­east monĀ­soon.

ā€œIn my view, early preĀ­parĀ­aĀ­tions iniĀ­tiĀ­ated through the CentĀ­ral DisĀ­aster ManĀ­ageĀ­ment ComĀ­mitĀ­tee (JPBP) meetĀ­ing, folĀ­lowed by conĀ­sistĀ­ent coordinĀ­aĀ­tion at the field level, have proven that cross-minĀ­isĀ­terial, departĀ­mental, agency and state govĀ­ernĀ­ment cooperĀ­aĀ­tion is importĀ­ant,ā€ he said, adding that this had reduced delays, minĀ­imĀ­ised conĀ­fuĀ­sion and accelĀ­erĀ­ated response durĀ­ing critĀ­ical situĀ­ations.

He cited the BanĀ­tuan Wang Ihsan via elecĀ­tronic fund transĀ­fer method as another game changer in disĀ­aster manĀ­ageĀ­ment, with funds disĀ­tribĀ­uted dirĀ­ectly to vicĀ­tims.

Ahmad Zahid said this was made posĀ­sible through a cross-funcĀ­tional approach with Bank SimĀ­panan NasĀ­ional, supĀ­porĀ­ted by a digital sysĀ­tem via theĀ MYIBJKM applicĀ­aĀ­tion developed by the WelĀ­fare DepartĀ­ment.

ā€œThis approach has sigĀ­niĀ­ficĀ­antly transĀ­formed vicĀ­timsā€™ experĀ­iĀ­ence, from a proĀ­cess that preĀ­viĀ­ously required a waitĀ­ing period of between three and six months. PayĀ­ment is made while the flood vicĀ­tims are still in the temĀ­porĀ­ary evacĀ­uĀ­ation centres,ā€ he said.

Ahmad Zahid also outĀ­lined three straĀ­tegic dirĀ­ecĀ­tions for strengthĀ­enĀ­ing disĀ­aster manĀ­ageĀ­ment ā€“ sciĀ­ence- and data-driven preĀ­paredĀ­ness; rapid and disĀ­cipĀ­lined coordinĀ­aĀ­tion; and comĀ­pasĀ­sionĀ­ate, people-centred humanĀ­itĀ­arian action ā€“ to guide Nadma towards greater resiĀ­liĀ­ence andĀ pubĀ­lic trust.

ā€œDisĀ­aster manĀ­ageĀ­ment must move beyĀ­ond instiĀ­tuĀ­tional reliĀ­ance by leverĀ­aging big data, preĀ­dictĀ­ive anaĀ­lytĀ­ics and integĀ­rated weather, geoĀ­spaĀ­tial and social risk informĀ­aĀ­tion, strengthĀ­enĀ­ing smart early warnĀ­ing sysĀ­tems, and adoptĀ­ing antiĀ­cipĀ­atĀ­ory action so responses occur before disĀ­asters strike rather than after damĀ­age hapĀ­pens,ā€ he said.

Kesiapsiagaan berasaskan sains perkasa pengurusan bencana negara

Berita

Kesiapsiagaan berasaskan sains, data dan teknologi digariskan sebagai hala tuju strategik bagi memperkasa pengurusan bencana negara dengan lebih tersusun.

Timbalan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi yang juga Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Pengurusan Bencana Negara, berkata pengurusan bencana tidak boleh lagi bergantung kepada institusi semata-mata.

ā€œKita mesti memanfaatkan data raya, analitik ramalan serta integrasi maklumat cuaca, geospatial dan risiko sosial. Sistem amaran awal pintar perlu diperkukuh dan pendekatan anticipatory action mesti dijadikan amalan supaya kita bertindak sebelum bencana berlaku, bukan hanya selepas kerosakan terjadi,ā€ katanya berucap menyampaikan amanat tahun baharu 2026 kepada warga Agensi Pengurusan Bencana Negara (NADMA), di sini semalam.

Yang turut hadir, Ketua Pengarah NADMA, Meor Ismail Meor Akim serta Komander PasukanĀ Mencari dan Menyelamat Khas Malaysia (SMART), Abdul Manaf Che Isa.

Ahmad Zahid berkata, hala tuju strategik lain adalah tindakan pantas, terselaras dan berdisiplin serta kemanusiaan berteras nilai dan empati.

ā€œKecekapan di lapangan bergantung kepada struktur arahan yang jelas, protokol respons keĀ bangsaan yang standard serta latihan bersepadu dan simulasi krisis yang konsisten.

ā€œDalam setiap tindakan, keselamatan dan maruah mangsa mesti menjadi keutamaan. Pendekatan berpusatkan rakyat perlu menjadi asas, dengan bantuan disalurkan secara cepat, adil dan berintegriti,ā€ katanya.

Sementara itu, Ahmad ZahidĀ mahu pengurusan Monsun Timur Laut 2025/2026 sebagai satu penanda aras baharu dalam pengurusan bencana negara.

ā€œPersediaan awal dimulakan melalui Mesyuarat Jawatankuasa Pengurusan Bencana Pusat (JPBP), disusuli penyelarasan konsisten peringkat lapangan membuktikan (kejayaan),ā€ katanya.

NATIONAL DISASTER COUNCIL TO BE FORMED

Berita

NationalĀ DisĀ­aster ManĀ­ageĀ­ment CounĀ­cil will be estabĀ­lished as the counĀ­tryā€™s highest govĀ­ernĀ­ing body to coordinĀ­ate disĀ­aster manĀ­ageĀ­ment and risk reducĀ­tion efforts.

Deputy Prime MinĀ­isĀ­ter Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said he had instrucĀ­ted the National DisĀ­aster ManĀ­ageĀ­ment Agency (Nadma) to preĀ­pare a cabĀ­inet paper, which would be cirĀ­cuĀ­lated to all minĀ­isĀ­tries for feedĀ­back before being tabled at the cabĀ­inet.

Zahid, who is also chairĀ­man of the National DisĀ­aster ManĀ­ageĀ­ment ComĀ­mitĀ­tee, said Nadma would disĀ­tribĀ­ute the paper within a month.Ā ā€œI will perĀ­sonĀ­ally present it to the cabĀ­inet.

ā€œWe intend to elevĀ­ate the CentĀ­ral DisĀ­aster ManĀ­ageĀ­ment ComĀ­mitĀ­tee into a National DisĀ­aster ManĀ­ageĀ­ment CounĀ­cil. Our aim is to sigĀ­niĀ­ficĀ­antly enhance the counĀ­tryā€™s disĀ­aster manĀ­ageĀ­ment frameĀ­work,ā€ he said durĀ­ing his 2026 New Year address to Nadma staff at the Smart headquarĀ­ters here yesĀ­terĀ­day.Ā Also present was Nadma dirĀ­ector-genĀ­eral Meor Ismail Meor Akim.

Zahid said the existĀ­ing disĀ­aster manĀ­ageĀ­ment mechĀ­anĀ­ism, which operĀ­ates through the CentĀ­ral DisĀ­aster ManĀ­ageĀ­ment ComĀ­mitĀ­tee, needed to be strengthened to reflect curĀ­rent realĀ­itĀ­ies.

ā€œAt present, the comĀ­mitĀ­tee does not dirĀ­ectly involve menĀ­teri besar and chief minĀ­isĀ­ters, even though state govĀ­ernĀ­ments hold critĀ­ical authorĀ­ity over develĀ­opĀ­ment planĀ­ning, land use and water resource manĀ­ageĀ­ment.

ā€œThere is also a need for full involveĀ­ment of fedĀ­eral minĀ­isĀ­ters who posĀ­sess the manĀ­date and capaĀ­city to coordinĀ­ate across minĀ­isĀ­tries and agenĀ­cies,ā€ he said.

ā€œDisĀ­asters today are no longer isolĀ­ated or seaĀ­sonal. They are increasĀ­ingly driven by cliĀ­mate change, rapid develĀ­opĀ­ment and urbĀ­anĀ­isaĀ­tion, popĀ­uĀ­laĀ­tion densĀ­ity, as well as global uncerĀ­tainĀ­ties.

ā€œDisĀ­asters now extend beyĀ­ond envirĀ­onĀ­mental issues. They encomĀ­pass pubĀ­lic health, humanĀ­itĀ­arian crises, as well as disĀ­rupĀ­tions to techĀ­noĀ­logy and critĀ­ical infraĀ­strucĀ­ture. That is why the old approach is no longer sufĀ­fiĀ­cient,ā€ he said.

Zahid said the National DisĀ­aster Risk ReducĀ­tion Policy 2030, which is being forĀ­muĀ­lated, repĀ­resĀ­enĀ­ted a long-term national comĀ­mitĀ­ment to strengthen pubĀ­lic awareĀ­ness and preĀ­paredĀ­ness.

Zahid also said MalayĀ­sia would increasĀ­ingly rely on sciĀ­ence, data anaĀ­lytĀ­ics and techĀ­noĀ­logy to antiĀ­cipĀ­ate disĀ­asters.

ā€œAntiĀ­cipĀ­atĀ­ory action must become standĀ­ard pracĀ­tice. We must act before disĀ­asters occur, not only after damĀ­age has been done.ā€

Zahid proposes National Disaster Management Council for enhanced coordination

Berita

PUCHONG: Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has proposed establishing a National Disaster Management Council as the highest authority for coordinating disaster management and disaster risk reduction.

During a Jan 8, 2026 speech to National Disaster Management Agency (Nadma) personnel, the Deputy Prime Minister emphasised the importance of relying on verified sources of information during any crisis to ensure effective coordination.

He stated, "In coordinating information, there should be only one spokesperson or a single source. Otherwise, conflicting information may arise."

Ahmad Zahid expressed his desire to establish a council to oversee disaster management and risk reduction efforts. To facilitate this, he instructed Nadma to prepare a Cabinet paper for the proposal within one month.

Ā 

He added, "You will need to distribute it to the relevant ministries and ministers to gather their feedback before I present it to the Cabinet."
